when I posted Zimbell's photos the other day,
it reminded me of an old all time favourite
(((Zimbell left, Herzog right)
Fred Herzog was shooting mid 20th century street photography in Vancouver,
his photos offer stunning portraiture and documentation,
but they also offer me a peek into the first world my father knew
the German neighbourhoods of Vancouver post world war two, namely 50s and 60s
I like to picture my grandfather's stern gaze behind each shutter
the contrast of his grey flanel suit against the vibrancy of each kodachrome frame
